Introduction to Roaming:

WLAN Wireless roaming allows STAs to move between AP coverage areas without interrupting services. As shown in the figure below, STA1 keeps the service uninterrupted when it moves from the coverage of AP1 to the coverage of AP2..



WLAN Wireless roaming policies address the following issues:

1: Avoid packet loss or service interruption caused by prolonged authentication during roaming

The number and time of packet interaction during authentication, such as 802.1x authentication and Portal authentication, are larger than those during WLAN connection. Therefore, roaming requires avoiding re-authentication and authorization and key negotiation.

2: Ensure that user authorization information remains unchanged

The authentication and authorization information of users is the passport for users to access the network. If services are not interrupted after roaming, the authentication and authorization information of users on the AC must remain unchanged

3: Ensure that the user IP address remains unchanged

Application layer protocols take IP addresses and TCP/UDP sessions as the bearer of user services. After roaming, users must retain their original IP addresses so that the corresponding TCP/UDP sessions are not interrupted and data at the application layer can be forwarded normally

Classification of roaming:

Depending on whether STAs roam within the same subnet, roaming can be divided into layer 2 roaming and layer 3 roaming

Three layers of roaming:

If the VLAN ids of the two subnets are different, the two subnets reside on different network segments. Therefore, STA roaming on the two subnets is Layer 3 roaming

Second floor roaming:

The following situation occurs: The VLAN ID of two subnets is the same, but the two subnets belong to different subnets. In this case, you need to use the roaming domain to determine whether devices reside on the same subnet. Layer 2 roaming occurs only when the vlans and roaming domains are the same. Otherwise, Layer 3 roaming occurs

Basic principles of roaming

Roaming switchover process within AC

  1. Switch detection: When STA detects that fast switch is about to occur, it will send a switch request to each channel.

STA monitors the beacon of each channel, finds that the new AP meets the roaming conditions, and sends probe requests to the new AP. After receiving a request in its channel, the new AP responds by sending a reply in the channel. Upon receiving the response, STA evaluates it to determine which AP is most appropriate to associate with.




  1. Switch trigger: When STA reaches the roaming threshold, switch will be triggered

Different STAs have different approaches to trigger conditions:

** According to the comparison between the current AP signal strength and the neighboring AP signal strength, the switch starts when the threshold is reached

** When the service, such as packet loss rate, reaches the threshold, the switchover is started. This switchover is triggered slowly and has poor effect

Efficient application of DBDC MT7915+MT7916 in IPQ4019/IPQ4029wifi router|Wallys

  Efficient application of DBDC MT7915+MT7916 in IPQ4019/IPQ4029wifi router|Wallys The difference between MT7915 and MT7916 MT7915 and MT7916 are two Wi-Fi 6 chips launched by MediaTek. Their main difference lies in the process and functional characteristics. First of all, MT7916 adopts a more advanced 6nm process, compared with MT7915 adopts 12nm process, so MT7916 has certain advantages in terms of power consumption and performance. Secondly, in terms of functional characteristics, MT7916 has the following advantages over MT7915: 1. Higher maximum rate: The maximum rate of MT7916 can reach 4.8Gbps, which is higher than 3.6Gbps of MT7915. 2. More spatial streams: MT7916 supports 8x8 MU-MIMO, while MT7915 only supports 4x4 MU-MIMO, so MT7916 has better performance when multiple users transmit data at the same time. 3. More advanced scheduling algorithm: MT7916 supports OFDMA, which can make more effective use of spectrum resources and improve network capacity and throughput. Overal...
